NOVEL SENTENCE.

Three Boys Ordered to Ise Publicly Fiogged
by Their Fathers. Upon Conviction ON
Charges OF Petit Larceny.
ST. Louis, Mo-. Doc Is. In the town OF
Washington, fifty miles west Of this city,
three boys, John Dworick and Gus and
Eddie Schoongnrdt, were arrested few
DAYS ago for petit larceny. They were
found guilty by Justice Hogenbusch, but
in consideration - the fact that they came
of good families he affixed punish
ment without precedent in the State.
Tho parents of the boys pleaded hard
for thcm, and the judge finally ordered
a nominal fine imposed providing the par
ents would publicly fog the boys in the
courthouse square. The fathers agreed,
and Friday about one thousand persons
assembled on tho square and saw the faith
ers fog the boys soundly. All the schools
took recess, and the children were in
vited to be present and profit by the moral
example. The children were marshaled
by their teachers. One of the culprits
stood the drubbing without u murmur, but
the yells of tho other pair could be heard
two blocks away.

ARMY INCREASE.
Measures to Extend the Efficiency
of All Branches,
More Especially the Artillery. win bs
Pressed This Winter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. N.-The proposition
Of Senator Henderson for the adoption Of
the three battalion formation for infantry
will be advocated strongly this winter.
The Senator has added TO the measure as
it passed the Senate in the last Congress
a section increasing the number OF regular
soldiers $500. This is one-half the in
crease General Sheridan thinks the army
ought TO have, and it is added 10 the bill
with the idea of helping along the
movement TO increase the efficiency
Of the artillery branch, which has not
received so much attention rs other
arms in recent years, and whose officers
are complaining of the neg 'ect. Mr.. Man
derson pointed out last spring the unpleas-
ant fact that in the formation OF its infan-
try the Unitel States is behind every
other country except Persia and China,
and he does not doubt that arguments
which led the Senate to adopt his bill last
year will prevail this year. Tho Senate
Military Affairs Committee, which now
has Senator Hawley at its head, is dis
posed to deal promptly and generously
with all military measures. Army officers
who look TO it for efficient aid in
curing defects and making improvements
in the present military system arc not
likely to be disappointed. Senator Haw-
ley Is expected 10 be more energetic in at
tending TO work Of this nature than was
his predecessor ns Chairman, the late Cen
eral Logan, whose time was largely de-
voted to the interests OF the veterans oI
the war. There is also in the Senate gen.
eraldisposition to follow the suggestion OF
the Milit ry Affairs Committee, so that the
Senate will probably do its share in this
Congress in adopting measures of import.
ance TO the army. Until the Speaker an
nounces tho Military Committee in the
House the army will not be certain what
TO expect from that branch OF Congress.
General Bragg, however, is not member
this year, and the failure Of the three-bat-
talon and some other important army
bills last winter was credited TO his oppo-
sition.
